Abstract excerpt
Clinical outcomes of dengue infection such as dengue fever (DF), dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) could be attributed to host genetic factors. The transporters associated with antigen processing (TAP) genes are polymorphic genes located in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II region and are essentially involved in class I antigen presentation. Therefore, these genes might...
